Just gettin' opinions..how may of the sacks were the OL's fault

Need to go back and rewatch it but not all of them.

Play calling, poor blocking, and a qb who takes to long to make a read and deliver the ball were all equally responsible.

 

Pretty much this...I think we should have a 4 second play limit in practice where Passing play have to be over in 4 seconds or a horn goes off and the players are penalized in some way. That way the receivers have to get open in that time and Cam has to get the ball off in that time.

Enough blame to go around on all of them.

Hard to tell how many are coverage sacks and how many are Cam just holding the ball too long.

But if you want a QB that just throws it away every time his first couple of reads are not open we will be even worse on offense.

The play calling and offensive scheming can help also.

The frustrating thing is that the offense ran well in the 1st half.  The fact that we only had 6 points on the board at halftime was due to failed execution - namely dropped passes.  We were getting the ball out fast, we were mixing it up well mixing in the run game, and overall executing a good gameplan.  It's just that we got plain whipped in terms of halftime adjustments.  The Chiefs came out with a gameplan to blitz the hell out of us while spying Cam with a LB and we never countered their adjustments.  It would've been nice to see a couple of screen passes to make them think twice about their constant pressure.

That's a system implementation. That's routes being designed. Ginn is the ONLY receiver that gets off the line like THAT. Speed kills which is why I was so disappointed we released Gettis, but he couldn't stay healthy

To say Cam was responsible for most of the sacks is another move by "fans" who can't wait to bash him for something. Some people actually thought Cam was responsible for the safety, when CLEARLY he had his back to the pressure and it was EXACTLY 1.8 seconds after he took the snap after center-- don't worry, I timed it. Byron Bell was again responsible for MOST of the pressure that Cam had this game, Gross and Amini played very well, until Amini got hurt of course.

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
